Test data management and "dummy" data for IT Software and Services

How can Grid-Tools help IT software and services providers?

Most businesses, organisations and homes rely on IT software. With industry regulations in many sectors tightening, the need to innovate to meet these challenges is making the software industry more competitive. Not only do companies need to develop top-of-the-range products, but they need to be able to demonstrate them to potential clients. This requires high quality test, development and demo data, which is why software firms are increasingly looking for the best, most efficient solutions to meeting these needs.

Grid-Tools has experience in working with large organizations in the software industry, like Oracle USA Inc and Infosys, to provide high quality, rich test, development and demo data that maximises products. Using a range of niche, unique solutions, Grid-Tools is able to help software companies to deliver:

  • Rich, high quality, re-usable test and development data
  • High quality, tool-generated data to be used as "dummy" data for product demonstrations or populating demo databases
  • Efficient and easy-to-use test data management solutions and software
  • Testing and development strategies for increased short and long-term efficiency

Creating usable and compliant test, development and demo data for the software and services sector

As marketplaces become ever more competitive and regulations ever more stringent, organizations are demanding greater efficiency and security from their software than ever before. For software companies, commercial success means adapting to meet these changing needs. This places a greater pressure than ever before upon the development and demonstration of new software. As a result, it’s time for software companies to look at how they provision their test, development and demonstration data. In the past, many software companies have provisioned data for non-production data in-house. This was usually done manually by large development teams; a costly and inefficient process. Such processes are also prone to human error, resulting in faulty software. Once it has been developed, software invariably requires updates and new versions to be produced. This requires creating copies of production databases which are expensive and hard to maintain. So, how then, do we provision high quality, rich, re-usable test and demonstration data efficiently?

The answer is synthetic data creation! Grid-Tools offers a range of sophisticated, flexible solutions, including the award-winning Datamaker™, which can create data that models the referential and relational integrity of production environments from scratch!
